10X6-6
10X6-180
General Purpose In Beam Chamber
Leakage and Low Level Measurements Chamber
A well documented wide dynamic range chamber with many
dose and rate applications. Also recommended for measuring
exposure time in Auto Dose mode.
Designed for leakage measurements. Cross-section of 100
cm2 and volume of 180 cm3. Also for very low dose to image
receptor.
10X6-6M
10X6-1800
Dedicated Mammography Chamber
A world standard for mammography, ready for any
mammographic tube track-filter combination. Extraordinary flat
energy response over 10 - 40 keV has been documented in
technical papers and makes corrections unnecessary. Also
recommended for measuring exposure time in Auto Dose mode.
Radiation Protection Chamber
For low-level radiation measurements such as shielding
leakage, irradiator and environmental. Unlike typical survey
meters, the 1800 cm3 volume chamber offers improved
accuracy over a wider dynamic range.
10X6-0.18
10X6-10
General Purpose In Beam Chamber
This 10cc multi-purpose ion chamber is suitable for measuring
R&F as well fluoro. It’s small size (5cm diameter x 1cm thick),
excellent energy response and x-ray transparency makes it ideal
for those difficult measurements where space is at a minimum.
High Dose Rate Chamber
For in-beam measurements of high-intensity gamma radiation.
Gamma irradiators and beam type irradiators. The fully
guarded chamber is mounted at the end of a 3 m low noise
triax cable.
10X6-0.6
10X6-60/60E
Service and Image Intensifier Chamber
The dynamic range and thin profile is ideal for Input Dose at the
Image Intensifier, High dose rates encountered in Fluoroscopy
and Cine, spot film devices & other special procedures.
Additionally, the -60E (extended) chamber's increased sensitivity
at lower energies turns the chamber into a "Universal" detector,
covering mammography through R&F and beyond.
10X6-3CT
Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI)
and DWP or DLP Chamber
Although designed specifically for CT X-ray beam
measurements, either free-in-air or mounted in a head or body
phantom, it can be used for DWP and DLP applications such as
Dental x-ray measurements, due to the chambers excellent
energy and partial volume response as well as uniformity along
its entire 10 cm active length.
High Dose Rate Chamber
This high dose rate chamber provides an excellent response at
therapy and other high energy, high dose rate applications. The
fully guarded chamber is mounted at the end of a 12 m low
noise triax cable. Can be used with or without build up cap
depending upon the application.
10X6-0.6CT
Modern Wide Beam Multi-Slice
CT Chamber
0.6cc thimble chamber as described in the AAPM Report No.
111 “Comprehensive Methodology for the Evaluation of
Radiation Dose in X-ray Computed Tomography.” Ideal for
dose measurements in modern wide beam multi-slice CT.
Calibrated using X-rays @ 150 kVp, Phantom adapter
included.
